Rails 1.1 Released

A nice milestone in the ruby on rails saga came and went this week. Ruby on Rails 1.1 was released.

Being honest and just getting right down to the whistles. RJS adds great comfort zone functionality to Rails. Basically it allows one to write javascript in Ruby, and taking the concept a bit further we can write Ajax application’s Javacript in ruby.

ActiveRecord has been enhanced with polymorphic associations, nested-with scope, aggregated calculations and a couple other nice to haves.

As for testing, integration test have been added. This insurance that the application works as intended across the continuum of controllers and actions.
